Smelly Dog ( limerick )

Poem Body

My dog doesn’t smell very sweet
His breath reeks of cabbage and meat
I’ve had quite enough
Cos he’s rolled in some stuff
And it’s matted all over his feet.

His fur is ridden with ticks
He froths at the mouth when he licks
Ah! What the heck
He’s a physical wreck
And he aint very good with the chicks.

He slobbers all over my clothes
And pong's from his head to his toes
He’s making me barf
So I’ll give him a bath
Washing him down with a hose.

No dog suffered in the making of this poem.

Fortunately I haven't got a dog! I'd be add up for mall treatment if it looked like this one. Lol.

Thanks Victor, kind of you to read and comment.

Woof. Woof. Woof...(....means as long as you don't smell like bacon, you're not smelling so great either.) ;-)

Shirley's poem made me laugh to. It's the phoo that does it. Give your brother's dog a pat from me.

Glad it made you laugh! Thanks for reading and commenting.

I have done a couple of funny poems - not with a dog a theme though. It's a mystery, perhaps someone else did a poem that's similar.

Thanks Lou

Very funny but you left out his being sprayed by a skunk lol.I like this a lot ( here comes stan's big ol' )but here's a few ideas to consider if you want to
l-5 change all over to on
l-6 try his fur's ridden with ticks
l-7 try he slobbers when he licks
l-10 change "very" to too and delete "the"
l-11 try something like mucus dribbles from his nose so that in next line
l-12 change and to he

l33 tell stan to bug off................scribbler

humor is a spice of life...it is quite natural to encounter creative blocks ...nice to know you are working around it by posting this nice Limmerick...after reading this one and the other posted by Victor i feel inspired to try one myself...which would be my maiden attempt..as and when i am done with it and post it here..i would look forward to your critic....

Really good to see you. Hope you're o.k. Ha ha - its farts would just pale into insignificance in my family - I've got five men in the house, besides me of course - you can imagine what it's like sitting down as a family to watch t.v etc. Lol

My nose has become immune to bodily odurs - it's survival of the fittest in our house! Lol.

Thanks Xena. Great to hear from you, thanks for dropping in.
